Director of Facilities

We are looking for a Director of Facilities to join our fast-growing team.

Guardian Dentistry Partners’ (GDP) mission is to support our partner dentist entrepreneurs and teams in building the practices of their dreams. While Guardian brings together passionate, purpose-driven, like-minded dental entrepreneurs who share similar values, each of our partners are very different, and it’s those very differences that make us stronger in positively impacting the lives of everyone we serve across our network of practices.

Guardian Dentistry Partners works alongside dental groups that are founded and operated by successful dentist entrepreneurs. Guardian’s state partnerships feel like working with a local group run by proudful owner dentists that care for their business, staff and patients like it’s their own, because it is their own! We are primarily funded by dentists and a family office, so we have less of a corporatized setting but have access to capital and institutional quality support. Beyond that, our empowered doctor partners, who are truly business partners in every sense of the definition, are who make us unique – they are leaders in their respective markets, and we are privileged to have them join us on this journey together. Our partners put their heart into their business (which is why we wanted to partner with them in the first place) and there is a real sense of passion for dentistry, love of the art and science of it, and uncompromising transparency and ethics in everything they do.

Our local partnerships consist of dentist owners/partners in key leadership positions, and with that you get a de-corporatized setting while still benefiting from economies of scale. Like our leadership team, the dentist entrepreneurs that have joined Guardian recognize the value of more resources whilst preserving their autonomy, identity, and culture. We embrace each practices’ unique culture and strive to preserve everything about what makes the practice so special while also providing for a pathway for careful and thoughtful evolution and growth, all the while ensuring the highest standards of patient care.
